Subject: [TR] Stag quit at speed
=20
Was giving the Stag its first serious road test today - it failed! =
Engine quit at about 60 and everything went dead. On the shoulder ( of =
CA101 north of SF at rush hour - fun) and engine would not turn and =
hazard lights wold not flash.
Could this be anything else but the alternator going dead causing the =
battery to totally discharge? I just tested by charging the battery, =
then starting the car. I turned on all the fans ,lights and radio, then =
waited just a few minutes and the engine shit down. Battery voltage now =
under 8 volts.
Must be the alternator, right?
